Humber, Yorkshire - At 9.25 p.m.

on 8th July, 1967, the coastguard informed the coxswain superintendent that a yacht was in difficulties near the Chequer shoal. The life-boat City of Bradford HI was launched in a strong west north westerly breeze. The tide was ebbing.

The yacht Venture with two persons onboard could not make headway with the strong ebb tide and was drifting out to sea. The life-boat took the yacht in tow to Grimsby, arriving at 12.40 a.m. the next day. As the tide was unsuitable for rehousing, the life-boat remained at Grimsby until 4.50, returning to her station at 5.45..
